The 8.8cm Panzerschreck is a recoilless anti-tank rocket launcher with a firing range of 150meters. It is a more sophisticated anti-tank weapon than the Panzerfaust and is a specialist anti-tank weapon that can be reloaded and used repeatedly.
The design was influenced by the American Bazooka. The Panzerschreck used a 3.25kg 4322 rocket with an armour penetration capability of 160mm. it used a hollow charge with a pointed head and a looped tail. It was available in summer (temperature range -5 to 50 degrees Celsius) and winter(temperature range -40 to 30 degrees Celsius) versions.
The early RpzB 43 proved to be an effective anti-tank weapon, but the powder residue and hot air stream from the anti-tank rocket could easily burn the user. The Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production therefore added a shooter's shield to the RpzB 43, thus creating the RpzB 54.
HEAVY HOBBY has taken advantage of 3D printing to create a hollowed-out design for the tubing details on the Panzerschreck. The model itself is rich in detail and does not require modification.
